    I can only hope that an ESB mischief maker was behind the following paragraphs from Mark De Mori's Wikipedia page. Ridiculous but hilarious all the same.

    "In 2014 De Mori scored an incredible first-round TKO victory over Bosnian Zeljko Bojic. Many promoters and managers now took inevitable interest in De Mori as his power was almost unprecedented.[4]

    In 2015 in Niedersachsen, Germany, he stopped German Marcel Zeller in less than a round. He was credited for both an incredible defense and offense, winning the bout with a first-round knockout. De Mori's talent was now without question and many commentators expected a rapid ascent to world title level if only he was not avoided.[5]

    De Mori Vs. David Haye

    On 24 November 2015 it was announced at a press conference that De Mori would be the comeback opponent of former heavyweight champion David Haye. The bout took place on 16 January 2016 at The O2 Arena in London and was promoted by Salter Brothers Entertainment.[6][7] De Mori hinted he would try to exploit Haye's weakness of having six pins in his right shoulder.[3] De Mori began the bout with a cautious but aggressive stance and the crowd soon realised this would be a battle to remember. De Mori threw incredible left jabs and right hooks but the supremely agile former world champion evaded most of the punches. De Mori's speed stunned broadcasters who feared Haye had taken on far too dangerous an opponent for his comeback fight. Clearly this would be the test Haye needed and he showed astounding bravery in launching a vicious onslaught on De Mori. The incredible battle was brought to an end when Haye landed a stunning combination while De Mori retreated to the ropes. De Mori could not beat the count giving Haye a first round knockout victory, the rapturous crowd gave a standing ovation to both warriors.[8] De Mori was ranked 10th by the WBA before his defeat to Haye, but given his performance most expected him to soon be back in the top ranking positions.[9]"

    Well he must be to have overcome the 'almost unprecedented power' of De Mori.

    I'm just wondering why you were on De Mori's page in the first place.

    I couldn't remember who Leapai had beaten to get his shot at Wlad so googled him and then noticed he had fought and drawn with De Mori. You're right though, it was a bit of a random tangent!

    Wish I had seen those fights. I must have missed those, but I saw the rematch with Haye probably... he must have been shot by then.

    The fight with de Mori was Leapai's first professional fight and an absolute war. Leapai was unlucky not to get the decision too, because he sat de Mori on his butt once or twice.

    In all seriousness, it is worth having a look at Leapai in his first pro fight. He had head movement, athleticism. Not sure what happened to those attributes along the way?

    Leapai vs de Mori is a very entertaining fight and well worth the watch.
